¶17

The accused/applicants seek anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 35/2022 of PS Mayur Vihar for offence under Section 21/25/29 of NDPS Act. Broadly speaking, the factual matrix set up by prosecution is as follows. On 08.01.2022, a secret information was received in PS Mayur Vihar to the effect that one Umesh Gautam, who procures smack from Bareilly, UP and supplies it to his associates in Delhi and adjoining area would come to deliver smack to one Sekhar @ Chander Sekhar at his residence between 02:00 pm and 02:30pm. After necessary procedural formalities, a raiding party was constituted, which apprehended Umesh Gautam and Sekhar @ Chander Sekhar, and a total 300 grams of smack was recovered from them, which led to registration of FIR No. 35/2022 of PS Mayur Vihar for offence under Section 21/25/29 NDPS Act. In the course of investigation, the accused Umesh and Sekhar @ Chander Sekhar stated that they procured the contraband from Anil and Omender, both residents of Bareilly. After further steps in the investigation, Anil and Omender were declared as Proclaimed Offenders. Thereafter, on 05.05.2025, Anil was arrested and interrogated. Anil informed that the contraband was supplied to him by the present accused/applicants. Since the accused/applicants were not traceable and did not join investigation, in order to unearth evidence against them, they were directed to join investigation, when they filed the present applications.

Learned APP in all fairness submits that against the accused/applicants there is no evidence except the confessional statement of
